The Thoughts Inside My Head

*I'm so incredibly disappointed about the abortion clause in the House health care bill. This may be the first time I've been this profoundly disappointed in the past year. I realize that cooler (saner!) heads may ultimately prevail, but it's still such a blow.

*Sammy has another (still) runny nose. My head MAY explode. I realize that I should just be grateful that it's only a runny nose and he doesn't ususally get sicker than that, but geez! I swear his nose has been running since September. Should he have hit some sort of snot quota by now?

*Isaac's only comment to yesterday's post was "McHottyPants?". Heh. That made me laugh.

*Sammy's been waking up lately saying his feet/legs hurt. I was stumped until I put a pair of his brand new, down past his heels sweats on him yesterday. They now come up to his ankles. These are a month old! I bought them a size up on purpose! I already have a 3 1/2 feet tall THREE year old. NOT STOPPED GROWING since he was born. It must be the milk he's addicted to...

*Sammy was lifting weights with Isaac the other night. He picked up a set and it literally toppled him over backward. He was fine, but I nearly popped a lung from laughing so hard. It was hilarious!

*I have a writting deadline of December 1st. HA!

*We've had 3 people call about our house. One came and looked at it and another should be coming by tomorrow. If all goes well, we'll close on the new house the week of Thanksgiving and move over the next couple of weeks. Did I mention my Dec 1st writing deadline? Ha, again!

*The DC sniper was executed last night. Didn't that seem super fast to anyone else?

*This did my heart good. Such a good step!

*Glee is back tonight. I'm ridiculously excited. Which, I'm sure, makes me wholly pathetic!

*I have apples, but don't want to make a pie. Suggestions?

Song for Sesame Street:

(cake, mahna mahna - Sammy's favorite!)

  1. Congrats on the new house!

    What's the writing deadline for?

    I don't make pie--don't like to mess with the crust. How about a crisp?

  3. For your apples, try this. It uses mt. dew, and that's just fun, right?

  5. What about AppleButter? And no, I don't think that it was too soon for the DC Sniper.... and I just had a conversation on the Churches stance towards gays a few nights ago....

  6. In case someone was sleeping----that has been the church's stance on people always. Treat them with love and respect---all people. That has been the way from, since I can remember when I was little, a veeerrry long time ago. Love Mom

  7. I too was pleased with the Church's (public!) support of the anti-discrimination policy. It is a big deal.

  8. Yes, I know Mom, but a lot of people, (even ones in the church!!) don't realise this. The article by President Monson eariler this year/late last year in the Ensign was the first time I actually knew the Churches stance on gays in the Church and holding callings and such....

  11. Here it is:
    Peel and slice 6 apples and put in 9x13 pan. Add 1/4 c. water mixed with 2 tbsp. lemon juice and sprinkle with 1/2 c. white sugar mixed with 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Make a crumble miture with 3/4 c. flour, 1/2 c. brown sugar, 1/4 tsp. salt and 6 tbsp. butter. Crumble it over the apples. Bake at 375 for 40 min. We like it right out of the oven with vanilla bean ice cream.
